This is believed to be the earliest picture of the young TP.
Taken in a photographic studio when he would have been about two, it was then hand tinted and presented on a wood cut-out with stand.
For as long as anyone can remember it took pride of place in a glass cabinet in the parlour of TP's parents' house in Mullagh.
Incidentally, TP's gorgeous curls provide a reminder of his first great romance, of which he would often talk - Shirley Temple! Sure, didn't he fall in love with her the first time he saw her on the Silver Screen.
